Police were investigating a report of several shots fired outside Suney’s Pub on Chandler Street shortly before 6 p.m. Sunday.

Several police cruisers blocked Mason Street, and officers found at least a half-dozen shell casings in the street at the scene. Neighbors said a silver Lexus parked among the shell casings had been hit by the gunfire. Officers who kept residents from walking in the area told passersby that no one was hurt.

Police gathered a shirt collected from inside the bar and there were scanner reports that they were looking for a vehicle with New Jersey license plates.

Dozens of people gathered on the street, many still celebrating after the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade, to watch the officers work. One man, whose daughter had not been allowed to watch the parade because she was being punished, was accompanied by her to see what had happened.

Police had made several arrests for disorderly conduct Sunday and local bars were filled with patrons after the festivities.

There were no arrests related to the incident listed in the police log at 9 p.m. Sunday, though an officer said there were several arrestees waiting to be booked. She declined to say whether any of the arrests were related to the incident.
